	Twilight Vista Size and pricing to be announced at release The school of landscape painters who popularized America's majestic mountain vistas had an enormous and lasting impact on Thomas Kinkade. When the student painter first stepped into the great hall of the Oakland Museum and saw the array of heroic landscapes, he knew that he had discovered a destiny. He would explore this great land as they had; he would celebrate its manifold beauties. That is what Thom has done in Twilight Vista, as dramatic a mountainscape as one could hope to see. Jagged clouds rise above the snow-capped mountains, forming a ghostly second range that towers heavenward. In the radiant twilight, the texture of cloud is only marginally different from the texture of rock. Both are majestic. "Awe is the beginning of worship" Thomas Kinkade comments. "God announces His presence in dramatic vistas, in flaming sunsets. I have been striving to evoke that sense of awe throughout my career."
